94) That you can’t go around accusing China of being a currency manipulator if you want them onside

One of Trump’s pledges was to designate China a currency manipulator, setting the stage for possible trade penalties because “we’re like the piggy bank that’s being robbed. We can’t continue to allow China to rape our country, and that’s what they’re doing.”

Now? Abandoned. Trump says he doesn’t want to punish China when it is cooperating in a response to North Korean provocations. He also says China has stopped manipulating its currency for unfair trade advantage. But China was moving away from that behaviour well before he took office.

Also set aside: repeated vows to slap high tariffs on Chinese imports.

Trump called China a currency manipulator 30 times on Twitter, repeatedly attacking Obama over it.

“To be clear, Putin is a human rights abuser not to mention curious murders of his political opponents. Is he equating the war in Iraq with what Putin does?”

Kellyanne Conway: “No, he’s just answering the question as asked. A lot of this stems from the fact that there just seems to be charge and accusation after charge and accusation that somehow President Trump and Vladimir Putin are BFFs. That is not true.”

78) What NATO actually is.

They had a quote from me that NATO’s obsolete. But they didn’t say why it was obsolete. I was on Wolf Blitzer, very fair interview, the first time I was ever asked about NATO, because I wasn’t in government. People don’t go around asking about NATO if I’m building a building in Manhattan, right? So they asked me, Wolf ... asked me about NATO, and I said two things. NATO’s obsolete — not knowing much about NATO, now I know a lot about NATO — NATO is obsolete, and I said, “And the reason it’s obsolete is because of the fact they don’t focus on terrorism.” You know, back when they did NATO there was no such thing as terrorism.

TRANSLATION: “I didn’t know what NATO actually is when I talked about it during the election.

Trump really is an idiot. He's other things too, but an idiot is one of the primary column headers. https://t.co/ltjmJ2CCsg

Lauer said: “Yesterday you said that Michael Flynn had the full confidence of the President. Later Sean Spicer said the President was evaluating the situation and then Michael Flynn resigns overnight. Were you out of the loop on this?”

To which she replied: “No not at all, both were true. The President is very loyal, he’s a very loyal person and by night’s end Mike Flynn decided it was best to resign, he knew he’d become a lightning rod and he made that decision.”

69) That being President is “fun” - allegedly

During an extraordinary press conference in February, Trump hit out at protestors, the media and “leakers”.

Before facing questions he said: “The level of dishonesty is out of control.”

He became more agitated and lambasted the media’s “tone” of “hatred”, adding: “I’m really not a bad person by the way.”

He went on to rail at the US broadcaster CNN in particular, hitting out at the “exclusive anti-Trump” panels and that “when I go to rallies they want to throw placards at CNN”. “I watch it, I see it, I’m amazed by it,” he said of one of its evening shows.

But he insisted he was not “ranting and raving”: “I’m not, you’re just dishonest people. I’m having fun.”

But he then went on to argue: “I won, I won ... there’s zero chaos, this is a fine-tuned machine.”

Over more than an hour, Trump argued how he “inherited a mess. A mess, at home and abroad” and claimed how he had the “biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan” - when his victory was smaller than Barack Obama’s.

53) That your war record follows you everywhere

The President appeared to relish sporting a green naval bomber jacket and baseball cap when he spoke in Virginia on Thursday and made clear his delight: “You know what, they just gave me this beautiful jacket. They said, ‘Here Mr President, please take this home.’

“I said, ‘Let me wear it,’ and then they gave me the beautiful hat and I said, ‘You know, maybe I’ll do that’. We have a great ‘Make America great again’ hat but I said, ‘This is a special day, we’re wearing this, right?’”

James Comey finally confirmed during a House Intelligence Committee hearing that he was investigating whether Trump’s associates coordinated with Russian officials in an effort to sway the 2016 presidential election.

In an apparent attempt to deflect from what the public was hearing, and whilst the hearing was still ongoing, the official Twitter account of the President tweeted the following.

It was a clear reference to four years ago, when Obama failed to deliver on his “red line” when he didn’t authorise military action against Assad in response to a sarin gas attack that killed hundreds outside Damascus.

17) That Steve Bannon might not be the best person in charge of policy

The presence of Bannon, the ex-Breitbart News boss, on the influential advisory body has been controversial given the website’s ultra-nationalist views and his lack of experience.

According to The New York Times, General McMaster, Trump’s national security adviser, pushed for the change.

McMaster holds a more traditional view of the US’s place in the world than hyper-nationalist Bannon and former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who was forced to resign after misrepresenting contacts with Russia’s ambassador to the US.

16) That those pesky illiteracy rumours aren’t going away

Of all the rumours circulating around Donald Trump, one of the more worrying is that he can’t read very well - a crucial skill when you’re the President of the United States.

The TV adventurer, who previously accompanied President Barack Obama on a trip in to the Alaskan wilderness in 2015, told Radio Times that Trump has one quality that might help him in the elements – “There’s no doubting he’s tenacious.”

However, Bear has this word of caution: “Donald Trump is a person who likes to be king and the one thing I’ve learnt in the wild is you’re never the king. You’ve got to learn to put the crown down. I’m actually on the same network, NBC, as The Apprentice. But I kind of hope he’s got more important things to do than to go on an adventure with me.”

Crazy idea, but what if Donald, Vlad, Kim Jong and Xi just like, I don’t know, got a weekend beach house & talked it out. Dennis Rodman too.

9) That boats can travel in multiple directions

North Korea expert Joel Wit at the 38 North monitoring group, run by Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies, told Reuters: “If you threaten them and your threat is not credible, it’s only going to undermine whatever your policy toward them is.

Still chuckling over Trump’s naval “armada” traveling in the wrong direction. Ladies and gentlemen: the Trump Administration.
